Promted by a question about the commercialisation of easter.
Now that I think about it do you buy and recive christmas presents or join in any activities. In your deffence it is forced on you but I don't think thats an excuse.

Most likely non-Christians and atheists alike will admit to buying Easter eggs. Since Easter Eggs and the Easter Bunny have no ties or links to Christianity what so ever. This is something made up for little kids mostly to enjoy.

Curiously enough "Easter" is a pagan holiday in origin, the eggs are symbols of the rebirth of spring, so I can't imaging any non-Christian having a difficulty with buying them.
Since Easter is a cultural event as well as a religious one, atheists, being part of this culture, are welcom to participate in it as well.

Yes i have and i have decorated them also. Just because i do this does not mean in anyway that i am religious. I do this for the fun of it and the fact that my nephews, nieces and my own stepdaughter and boyfriend really enjoy the fun of it. We are of mixed religion. In my family we have Jews, Christians , atheist, baptists, Presbyterians, and catholics. It is definitely not about the religion aspect. Just like any holiday it is about being with family and enjoying each others company.
